Breaking: Calif. Senate to vote on budget compromise today 10 am

I do not believe this vote has been scheduled unless there are indications that there are at least two Republican Senators ready to vote for the budget so that it will secure the necessary two-thirds vote, or unless the governor believes he can deliver these votes.

Let’s hope it passes. The stalemate has gone on long enough. The budget looks to be 50% tax increases and recovery and 50% budget cuts.
